Summary
This chapter focused on three areas of workplace discrimination: race, disability and age.
We observed that all societies appear to favour certain groups more than others and that
most developed societies have attempted to combat prejudice, favouritism and discrimination
by introducing relevant laws. Each of the forms of discrimination that we have covered
have complex causes which are not easily countered by legislation.
